Care and companionship can make all the difference

Like many older people, our Customer Christel Fooks didn’t want to be a burden on her children after her husband’s death. She was living in her own home but was reluctant to ask for help and was struggling with loneliness and isolation. Spending a few hours each week with a KinCare Home Care Worker has made all the difference to Christel.

The retired nurse, who raised a large family of 10 children, has dedicated her whole life to helping others. Even now Christel knits beanies for the neonatal ward at Nepean Hospital and blankets for other KinCare Customers who are wheelchair bound. However now that her husband has passed away and her children are living all around the world, Christel admits she sometimes feels lost.
